+    // any cases when OpenWithProgids values for the given extension are
+    // different from those found directly under HKCR\.ext, so for now we don't
+    // bother to use this, apparently the programs registering their file type
+    // associations do it in both places. We do use UserChoice because when the
+    // association is manually changed by the user it's only recorded there and
